Tal Chappar(Chapar/Chhapar) sanctuary's first and only online extensive film on black bucks, other wildlife with several dramatic action sequences and heavenly sights. For HD movie, Contact me: divinedevaangjain@yahoo.in or call me at: +91-9649694505 (India) for any queries, or to obtain the original High Definition movie (Full HD, 1920x1080, 25fps).

The Indian antelope, the Blackbuck, has been mercilessly hunted all over the country. The Bishnoi tribe of Rajasthan worked tirelessly for the revival of this critically endangered species. This is the story of the Tal Chappar Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the last refuge of the most graceful antelopes of the world. These antelopes are a conservation success story.

The film, originally shot in HD, captures the mesmerising dramatic high jumps of the black bucks, their social life, rarely seen territorial behavior of male bucks and multiple angle photography of the unique grasslands. Witness the beautiful female buck Meneka, as she comes close to the camera.

The migratory and resident birds are seen. There's a visual feast, three bird species in a close proximity. Meet the biggest Asian antelope, the Blue Bull and the little noisy grasshoppers. Enter the hidden, dark world, into the deep underground burrow of a desert fox.

LEGEND
Though I highly recommend watching the whole movie in continuity since none of the shots is worth missing, if you are short of time or only wish to look at the specific information, you may follow he following time keys-
0:00 - Introduction
1:05 - How to reach the Tal Chhappar sanctuary
1:37 -Geographical location and the Thar desert, xerophytic vegetation and the Camel
2:11 - Entry into the Tal Chhapar Sanctuary, overview of the vast grass lands of large herds of blackbucks and their social structure
3:24 -Beautiful spiral horns of the male black bucks and their body structure and behaviour
4:10 -Different species of grasses in the sanctuary and the special sweet Mothiya grass and its seeds which the bucks and birds eat
4:45-The Migratory birds, especially the Harriers. The action packed flight of the Eurasian Marsh Harrier would leave you mesmerized
5:19- The territorial behavior of the male black bucks and maintenance of dung pile sites
6:01 -The well camouflaged bucks; the grass used to protect them from their now extinct natural predator, the Asiatic Cheetah.
6:21- The playful little blackbucks showing their jumping skills. Do not miss the action packed sequence!
7:02- Beautiful female black buck named Meneka approaches us for lovely close up shots, almost licking the camera! The camera angle (at 7:22) makes you feel as though she literally licks the viewer! Also seen is the keen sense of smell of the bucks.
7:32- Sexual behavior, courtship displays of males and mating instincts
7:54- The blackbuck territories and territory selection, topographic factors of such selection
8:23- Male practicing fighting by swaying horns. This is how the deadly furious fighting battles take place.
8:45- Majestic walk of a young male with curl in its tail.
9:02- Fasten your seat belts! The main action and the drama begin now. A rarely seen complete action sequence of the high leap of a buck in the air. It is critically analyzed again in slow motion for better insight. These jumps make the black bucks one of the fastest land animals.
9:52- Witness the grandeur of the golden fur of the bucks when it glazes in sunshine. An extremely beautiful sight.
10:08-The grasshoppers. The little almost overlooked insects of the grasslands which play a very vital role in the ecosystem.
10:55-Another heavenly sight. Watch the Indian Roller, Black Drongo and the Little Bee Eater, and a rare scene when they sit in a close proximity in a single frame (at 11:26)
11:42- The weed Prosopis Juliflora, which had once taken hold of the grasslands, disturbing the ecosystem.
12:01- The Blue bull (Nilgai), the biggest Asian antelope.
12:26- Now, enter a desert fox's burrow, a complex network of deep underground caves. Know about the secretive, dark, unknown world. Let the music and the shots take hold of you, but not for very long!
13:04- The grasslands reveal their rich colors in the soft morning light.
13:14- The climax- beautiful not to be missed overlapping shots (begin at 13:24) of the angelic blackbucks, testimonials to their conservation story, and the role of the Bishnoi tribe and local communities in conservation. You will be left wondering and a lot more awakened by this though provoking climax.
14:04- Credits and thanks
